Dear AAPD Community, April is National Social Security Month. Join the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) and the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund (DREDF) for a conversation on disability benefits, equity, and what research means for policy and people with disabilities. This webinar brings together researchers and other key stakeholders to connect research findings to current policy conversations. The discussion is grounded in the report “In the Last Year, It’s Gotten a Lot Worse,” which examines growing barriers to accessing SSI and SSDI benefits.  What to Expect How key findings connect to current policy debates affecting the disability community What is at stake for people who rely on SSI and SSDI, including access to Medicaid and critical services How recent changes at SSA and new Medicaid requirements could impact benefits and care The significance of the SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act How we can push for a more inclusive Social Security system Event Details Date: Thursday, April 9, 2026 Time: 1-2:30 PM ET Format: Virtual webinar on Zoom Registration: Required.

Monies will be distributed as $40/month for June, July, and August. Your child is eligible if your household already receives SNAP, TANF, Foster Care, or income-eligible Medicaid benefits OR your child qualified for federal free or reduced price meals for the 2025–2026 school year. If your household already receives any of the above benefits, your child/children are automatically enrolled, and you do not need to fill out a separate application for the summer benefit. Important: Please make sure that the school district has your current address on file. Cards will be mailed to that address, starting in June. The district cannot be responsible for cards sent to an incorrect address. Please note that students who qualify for free meals under NJEIE eligibility guidelines are not eligible for this benefit. If you need help feeding your kids when school is out this summer visit THIS LINK for more information, in both English and Spanish. ========================================================== Tax Time Brings Surprises for Some Who Receive ACA Subsidies Listen: What the Vaccine Schedule Whiplash Means for Your Kids What the Health?
